Hops are a flower which was introduced
to brewing about 1000 years ago but have only been in common use for 200
years. The fact that hops are flowers tells us everything we need
to know about handling them.
Hops are delicate and impart the
necessary bitterness needed to balance the sweetness of the malt.
They provide the spice flavor in beer and the aroma which prepares the
taste buds.
